Item 3.01.   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 15, 2005, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the letter, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). The letter further notified the Company that, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until February 13, 2006, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Compliance may be achieved if the bid price per share of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to February 13, 2006. However, Nasdaq has the discretion to require a period in excess of ten business days before determining that the ability to maintain long-term compliance has been demonstrated.

The letter from Nasdaq further stated that, if the Company does not regain compliance with the Marketplace Rules by February 13, 2006, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. In the event of such notification, the Company would have an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. If the Company’s common stock is delisted, it will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board.

The Company intends to monitor the bid price between now and February 13, 2006, and consider available options if its common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance.
